I purchased a pair of Brooks GTS 10 from Achilles’s Heel (a nearby shop). I ran home from uni a couple of times in them and today I did about 7 miles over an hour. They’re great shoes and very comfy. I’ve mapped out the basic route I did today on WalkJogRun.net

I am planning to do the Loch Ness Marathon in October 2010 so the training has begun. I’m reasonably fit and go to the gym around 3 days a week but I’ve never tried any long distance running. I managed 20:53 for 5km just before Christmas. I wouldn’t class myself as a runner (yet!) but I’ve always wanted to run a marathon and I figured now was a good time to try. Some free time and I am still quite young!

Earlier in the week I made a new tshirt design. I am quite pleased with it but despite the paint being “fabric spray paint” it says not to use on clothes so I am not sure how long it will last…

I listened to H.G Well’s The Time Machine this week, Roy Trumbull is a good narrator and I really enjoyed it.

Finally, I saw Avatar 3D yesterday. It was a reasonably good film but I was just waiting for them to burst into “Colors of the wind”!
